TESTIMONIALS

OWEN N.

As a child, all children dreamed of becoming astronauts, and I wanted to be an artist. But the reality has made me a photographer, and I do not regret. I had a whole set of professional L optics, lacking only in artistic photographs. Helios 40-2 lens gave me the opportunity. Photos with it remind me of the most real picture: the sharpness of the main object, soft, curved bokeh like painted colors, high aperture ratio 1.5. Now I use almost exclusively the lens.

ALEX R.

Lens — what I need: the legendary bokeh, illumination available, and the glass is good. In my view better to take a Canon M42 — adapter chip deliver on its labels on the bayonet. For Nikon — better to take the N-mount version, as otherwise not be infinity.

Larry S.

The most sensational lens. With Helios 40-2 just need to make friends. In the right hands gives stunning photographs at f / 1.5.
I bought a year ago, I do not regret. Elegant bokeh, razor sharpness 2.8. A little heavy. Who thought up — take, you will not regret! Many believe that for the same money, there are other good lenses. It would be interesting to know — what?

Anita K.

Analyze pictures taken on the lens Helios 40-2, I came to the conclusion that they are the most incredibly natural. The main differences: quiet beautiful image. And if we add a special background blur with a good portrayal of details on it, then it’s safe to say that this lens excellent in its niche.
